@wolf31o2 wolf31o2 released this 27 May 23:46

Release Highlights

  • Plugin registration to support surfacing of plugin-defined fields for configuring providers and automators
  • Finer grained dependencies for service life-cycle hooks. This allows specifying install time, runtime, and optional dependencies. E.g. You may want some service X to be installed before service Y, or start service X after service Y but only if service Y is installed on the cluster
  • Life-cycle callbacks for clusters for integrating with enterprise assets (e.g. Metering, Monitoring, ...)
  • Ability to add additional configured services to an existing live cluster. (e.g. Create a Hadoop cluster with only HDFS and MapReduce and then later installing HBase on the cluster)
  • Support for starting, stopping and restarting services
  • Personalizable UI skins
  • More out-of-box cookbooks
    • Apache Hive™ support for clusters
    • Enable a secure cluster with support for Kerberos
  • Lots of bug fixes
  • Lots of testing
